every new kernel release shall be introduced by a personal address from Linus Torvalds speech or voice in some kind of messages. Either a text message or a voice mail. Or even as a kernel message in syslog format or motd ( message of the day) on each login.
@itsfoss
in earlier days of Linux there was a simple text DB with 1000s of short phrases or one sentence that greets on every login the entering user. Either proverbs, poems, humour, riddles or quotes from historical masters should motivate the user. Not via internet but updated by its own pkg. It was only modifying /etc/motd automatically by each login but only one time each day. I remember how nice this feature was and I miss it
@enigma @itsfoss Is that database today's fortune-mod https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/fortune-mod/, adapted from NetBSD? I think editing motd is a custom addition by a specific sysadmin (a line in crontab), while more commonly I saw it called in each login shell through ~/.profile
Arch Linux - fortune-mod 3.26.1-1 (x86_64)

@makepost @itsfoss
jep the fortune name was missing to me at least - though ( I should have known - and remember better)
Thank you - I will provide it for opensuse asap. This could mean for my company that 100 users will enjoy it after easter 🙂
@makepost @itsfoss the origin of fortune comes from the chinese cookies :-) :-) . After having applied I would like to enhance it for Aerospace business and space crafts . From Kennedys Apollo addresses up to movie quotes like HALfrom Odysee 2001
